My Way Back

My Way Back - Trace Adkins

Mama put a bible in my glove box

And a hot homemade apple pie on the passenger's seat

She said you'll always be my baby

Then she planted a kiss and a couple of tears on my cheek

Dad slipped me some traveling cash

And a map with a highlighted route on the dash

And I realized as I looked back that

They weren't just saying good bye

There weren't just seeing me off

There were just making sure that I

Don't forget where I'm from

Go out there and do your family proud son

Mama loved and daddy worked

Lived their lives just to make sure I know my way back home

I can still smell mama's kitchen

And feel every single prayer she says for me

I can point these wheels towards that sunset

With a out a fear without a doubt

Daddy says go get that dream

I left behind a pie crumb trail

Just in case I get lost fall flat or fail

And if the wind should leave my sail

They weren't just saying good bye

There weren't just seeing me off

There were just making sure that I

Don't forget where I'm from

Go out there and do your family proud son

Mama loved and daddy worked

Lived their lives just to make sure I know my way

Back to that door that's always open

And that light that's always on

To the love that's always waiting

After being gone too long

They weren't just saying goodbye

They weren't just seeing me off

There were just making sure that I don't forget where from

Go out there and do your family proud son

Mama loved and daddy worked

Gave their lives just to make sure I know

I always know

I always know my way back home

My way back home

My way back home
